Hi, I was watching a movie 2 nights ago and after around 1hour 10mins of the movie my 8+ year old yamaha receiver turned off. I tried pushing the on button nothing happened after a few minutes I pulled the plug and plugged it right back in and it turned on. I watched about another 20 minutes then it turned off again.
So the next day I took off all speaker connections and turned on the receiver with nothing connected. It was on for about 2 hours and 40 minutes then turned off tried the plug pull it would turn on but turn off right away. I let it rest for about 20 mins then turned it on again. this time it lasted about 1 hours 15 mins before turning off again.
I took off the chasis and inside the dust was really accumulated. I'm thinking it's causing it to overheat and activate it's protection mechanism.
Any ideas or suggestions on what I should do? can you suggest a place I can bring to have it cleaned.
Thanks.
